I believe it’s also because they break the canon of 1 and 2 to tell the story of 3 I can’t be bothered to write through the whole complex thing I believe there is a thread on nma somewhere in which someone aptly pointed out how they did so.

So it was the music and lack of farmland that did it… ahhh… I see now… entirely different games. And yes Ash I have played through the games. I was a lowly fluffer in New Reno, I saw the vorpal bunny, and I super stim packed friendlies to death. Like I said I played the games in reverse order so I don’t have the sense of entitlement everyone else who played Fallout previously seems to have.

khorse, had you really played through FO1/2, you wouldn’t have asked those questions, actually no one would.

And no its not the combat what makes people bitch so much about FO3, but rather a piss poor writing (quests/dialogue/story), lack of consequences, and “few” other things that made fallout fallout.

khorse, except for the whole capital city still standing thing… and the high fantasy theatrical music… and the lack of any noticable farmland… and the people from Europe who came to America after the war…

Is it just the combat that makes people bitch so much? I played the games in reverse order and the setting in 3 seems spot on when compared to 2. 3 has more realism and less jokes, for better or worse. The only major complaint I could see from fans of the first two games is that 3 offers fewer choices in how a quest is completed.

a lot of things are closer to the first two fallouts than fallout 3 is.

“While fairly (and justifiably) reviled by Fallout fans at the time, you could argue it was a little closer to the world of the original two Fallouts than the recent Fallout 3 was.”

Eyebrow raisin’ right off my face, here. ;)

The hate-campaign on Duck and Cover-NMA against FOBOS was great fun while it lasted.
